Contractors must demonstrate proven experience in transporting biological materials under regulated conditions, possess valid DOT and HAZMAT certifications, and maintain rigorous documentation and tracking systems to verify compliance. The opportunity is structured as a subcontract with a response deadline of August 12, 2026, and aligns with NAICS code 484220 for specialized freight transportation. The California Department of Fish & Wildlife is seeking reliable logistical partners capable of handling sensitive, time-critical shipments while upholding state environmental and safety standards without interruption.
